expoSItion 2014
Monday, March 24
12 noon-2:00 p.m.
Michigan League, Ballroom
WHAT is the expoSItion? An annual UMSI event where students exhibit projects to potential employers, peers, prospective students, faculty and UM community.
WHO participates? UMSI Students
WHY participate?
- Showcase UMSI's talent to the public!
- Network with potential employers for internship or job opportunities! The UMSI Networking Fair takes place just before the expo. MOST of those employers also attend the exposition.
- Help recruit prospective students to the program by showing them all the cool stuff we do here!
- Hone your presentation skills-valuable practice for upcoming conferences or for your job search!
- Win some BIG money! (Monetary awards for the best project presentations)
- If all that isn't enough...free food!
WHAT kind of project can you exhibit?
- Individual or group projects.
- Any UMSI Course Project (and not just HCI courses!). Past projects have come from: 622, 601, 618, 572, 623, 501, 644, 647, 508, 649, 580, 581, 655, 692, any iPol course and more!
- Internships. If you participated in a summer internship (SI 681), create a poster detailing your experience or a project you worked on.
- Independent research projects.
- Conference Posters. Planning on presenting a poster at an upcoming conference? If so, definitely consider exhibiting the same poster at the expo!
- Projects do not have to be complete to exhibit them. Work-in progress is just fine and actually presents nicely at the expo! You can present on what you have done so far and what you plan to do.
